When ActionClip suggests it

Snippets appears in the Paste widget when enabled and available for the current editable field.

Enabled actions remain available in your Actions list even when Smart Suggestions do not promote them for the current selection.

Requirements and privacy

  • Saved snippets stay on this Mac.
  • Text is inserted literally, with whitespace and line breaks preserved.
  • Paused apps, websites, and secure-field restrictions still apply.
Paste Paste inserts the current clipboard content at an editable insertion point. Paste Plain Paste Plain removes rich formatting so text can be inserted or reused without the source font, color, or styling.
